Here's my saved list of alternative tunings:

% Dropped D
tuningDropD = \markup {
 \fontsize #-4
 \override #'(baseline-skip . 1.5)
 \column \override #'(font-name . "Arial Bold") {
   E B G D A D
 }
}

% Open G
tuningOpenG = \markup {
 \fontsize #-4
 \override #'(baseline-skip . 1.5)
 \column \override #'(font-name . "Arial Bold") {
   D B G D G D
 }
}

% Open D
tuningOpenD = \markup {
 \fontsize #-4
 \override #'(baseline-skip . 1.5)
 \column \override #'(font-name . "Arial Bold") {
   D A \concat { F \override #'(font-name . "Emmentaler-16") \small 
♯ } D A D
 }
}

% Open E
guitar-open-e-tuning = \stringTuning <e, b, e e b e'>
tuningOpenE = \markup {
 \fontsize #-4
 \override #'(baseline-skip . 1.5)
 \column \override #'(font-name . "Arial Bold") {
   E B E E B E
 }
}

% Open A add4
guitar-open-a-add-four = \stringTuning <e, a, d e a cis'>
tuningOpenAaddFour = \markup {
 \fontsize #-4
 \override #'(baseline-skip . 1.5)
 \column \override #'(font-name . "Arial Bold") {
   \concat { C \override #'(font-name . "Emmentaler-16") \small ♯ } 
A E D A E
 }



And a simple example:

\new TabStaff \with {
 stringTunings = \guitar-open-g-tuning
 instrumentName = \markup { " " \tuningOpenG }
}
{
 d, g, d g b d'
}
